Couric on CBS News

OK, I know Katie Couric has nice legs. Splendid. Do I need to see them on the nightly news? I guess I should be glad they're not Bob Schieffer's, but seriously, how about instead of trying to 'sexy up' the broadcast to increase ratings, they -- you know -- actually do some good reporting?

A story was on about counterfeit drugs being sold online. Katie to the CBS Chief Medical Correspondent: "What makes counterfeit drugs so dangerous?"
You can't figure that one out on your own, Katie?
"How can you know whether you're ordering from a real, reputable company or a scam artist?"
"Well, Katie, you can log onto CBS.com."

Also, I'm not so sure they're trying sex up the nightly news. I think the more likely goal is to appeal to the "Soccer Mom" demographic. I don't know many guys who are tuning in just to see Katie's gams.

This broadcast is making me sick. :-X

My favorite question in that interview; "Why are people doing this?" Umm, I don't know....maybe because it's an easy way to make money?

I've been a Today junkie going back to Jane Pauley's day. And, yup, that was me out on the plaza in the background whenever in Manhattan with a free a.m. But legs? Only devoted watchers will remember Katie hurdling in Athens (when the stars of America's First Family had to try out different events). Curiously (not really) it was the only one of these segments left out of the show's end-of-Olympics highlights package. Hurdles, not flattering. Bottom line: Her legs look good on the set when she's sitting and flexing. Standing though ... she could sue the city for pouring the sidewalk so close to her ass.
